Encouragement to hear God in the middle of a busy season

Journaling prompts to realign your heart with God's truth

Did you know journaling can actually rewire your brain? In this episode, we’re digging into the fascinating (but approachable!) neuroscience behind journaling—and how it supports your emotional, mental, and even spiritual health.

We’ll look at three key areas of the brain—the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex—and how putting pen to paper helps each one work better together. Plus, you’ll learn why handwriting beats typing, and how journaling can help with stress, memory, emotional regulation, and hearing God more clearly.

Whether you’re a regular journaler or just curious, this episode will give you fresh motivation, biblical encouragement, and practical journaling tips backed by science.

Is God speaking to you through something you want—or is your heart leading you astray? In this episode of Hearing God Daily, we’re diving deep into the complex and often confusing topic of desire.

Why our desires can sometimes be trustworthy, and other times misleading

How to practically discern whether a desire is from God

The tension of waiting, surrendering, or acting on what you want

Real-life encouragement to walk closely with God in the midst of uncertainty

With biblical insight, and practical tools, this conversation will help you grow in wisdom and confidence as you learn to hear God’s voice—even in your desires.

Most of us start seeking God’s voice when we’re facing big life decisions—where to live, what job to take, who to marry. That was true for me too. But I’ve learned that hearing God isn’t just about getting clarity—it's about transformation, preparation, and love.

In this episode, I share how my journey of learning to listen to God began in a season of deep uncertainty and desire for direction. We’ll explore the deeper reasons God invites us to hear His voice: for our own growth, to show us His love, to prepare us for what's ahead, and to bless others through us.

With stories from Scripture and real life—Joseph, Peter, Corrie Ten Boom, and more—we'll unpack how God uses our listening lives not just for our sake, but for His bigger purposes in the world.

If you’ve ever only gone to God with a decision in mind, this episode will challenge and encourage you to ask: Am I letting God start the conversation?
